No , it was totally inaccessible in the past . In the near future , construction will also begin on [[0]a cross-sea bridge connecting [[4][[3]Hong Kong] , [[1]Zhuhai] , and [[2]Macao]]] . In 1992 -- Could n't go in summer -- So , after [[5]their] return , [[5][[2]Macao] , and [[3]Hong Kong] , the two special administrative regions] , are basically still using ships and helicopters to stay connected . It 's extremely troublesome to get there via land . One has to go up to Shenzhen , Dongguan , then go through Panyu , keep going up , to Zhongshan , and certainly go to [[1]Zhuhai] , then pass through [[1]Zhuhai] to get to [[2]Macao] . For a [[3]Hong Kong] person choosing to go there via land , it 's extremely inconvenient . A full twenty years ago , Hopewell Holdings Group Chairman Wu Ying - sheung , a well - known construction tycoon , boldly made a cross-sea bridge proposal . With [[0]this bridge] , the distance would be very small , only a little over one kilometer . However , due to various reasons , bridge construction was put off . This is what we have seen since 1999 . Anticipated for 20 years , today this dream is finally coming true . Well , originally the construction of the new -- With [[0]this new [[4][[3]Hong Kong] - [[1]Zhuhai] - [[2]Macao]] bridge that basically leads to [[4]all three places , [[3]Hong Kong] , [[2]Macao] , and [[1]Zhuhai]]] , basically , at the start of [[0]the bridge] , you can get on the separate road to the place you want to go . [[2]Macao] is this way , and [[1]Zhuhai] is this way . From the perspective of either [[3]Hong Kong] , [[2]Macao] , or [[1]Zhuhai] , our concept is a tourism zone .

And there are some new developments to talk about [[1]tonight] . Scientists may be even closer to solving the mystery . For an update [[0]we] 're joined by Dr. Robert Mann one of the senior scientists [[2]you] just saw working on [[5]this cold case] . Thanks for [[3]spending] time with [[0]us] [[1]tonight] doctor . [[0]We] understand since Thelma left [[2]your] laboratories [[2]you] 've now wittled this down to perhaps four airmen . is that true ? Well hi Paula . yes [[0]we] have . Uh when the remains came in a little over a week ago [[0]our] analysts and [[4]historians] got to work on [[3]that] . and [[4]they] were able to wittle [[3]it] down the number of missing aircraft uh to a few . and at this point [[4]they] 've wittled [[3]it] down to one aircraft and a missing crew of four individuals . So we 've gone from several possible aircraft to one aircraft and from several missing airmen to four . So how much easier will that make it for [[6]you] to unlock [[5]this case] , do [[6]you] think ? Well [[6]I] think it 'll help quite a bit . Um any time [[6]you] 've got a body uh or remains like this that has come in and they 're in pretty good condition such as [[7]this one] is , [[7]it] 's mummified remains . [[8]We] have some soft tissue [[8]we] can deal with . so [[8]we] can look at the color of the hair . [[8]we] can tell right away the race and the sex of the individual . but then there are other things that are hidden beneath the soft tissue that are revealed only in the skeleton . and that 's where [[8]we] 're going to now . So in the interest of full disclosure what [[6]I] know about forensics is basically what [[6]I] 've learned on CSI . and one would think that because you 've got it now narrowed down to four potential airmen that perhaps you could go to four families get strands of hair and try to do a potential DNA match with what you 've found in the ice . Is it not that simple ? Well no no it 's not that simple . Um one thing we always caution people about is the pool of aircraft and missing airmen could be larger than what we 're looking at . And what [[9]we] want to do is [[9]we] do n't want to just look at the material evidence that [[9]we] have and immediately um jump to a conclusion that this is a certain individual . What [[9]we] want to do is have [[10]the evidence] speak for [[10]itself] . and when [[9]we] look at [[11]this individual] as [[9]we] 've done the biological profile looking at [[11]his] remains [[11]his] bones [[11]his] teeth and the material evidence . and what [[9]we] 're able to tell from [[11]this individual] is that [[11]he] died in [[11]his] twenties [[11]he] stood somewhere between five foot nine and six foot two inches tall um [[11]he] sustained massive trauma to [[11]his] body on impact . And [[11]he] 's Caucasoid male . and so [[12]we] know much more now just one week later than what [[12]we] did when [[11]he] came in about eight days ago . So the most important question is when do [[13]you] think [[13]you] 're going to know exactly who [[11]he] is ? Well that 's the most commonly asked question that [[14]we] have . and you know the reality is nobody can give you the answer . Nobody knows for sure exactly when [[14]we] 'll identify [[11]him] . What it depends on is that all the lines of evidence come together for successful identification . If [[13]I] were to give [[13]my] best opinion in this it would be a few weeks to a few months . Well [[15]we] 'll be keeping [[15]our] fingers crossed for you . Know how hard you all are working in the lab there Dr. Mann . Thank [[13]you] for spending some time with [[15]us] tonight .

Uh when [[8]the remains] came in a little over a week ago [[9][[1]our] analysts and historians] got to work on that . and [[9]they] were able to wittle [[10]it] down [[10]the number of missing aircraft] uh to a few . and at this point [[9]they] 've [[11]wittled] [[10]it] down to [[13]one aircraft] and [[12]a missing crew of four individuals] . So we 've gone from several possible aircraft to [[13]one aircraft] and from several missing airmen to [[12]four] . So how much easier will [[11]that] make it for [[1]you] to unlock [[3]this case] , do [[4]you] think ? Well [[4]I] think [[11]it] 'll help quite a bit . Um any time you 've got [[14]a body uh or remains like [[8]this] that has come in] and [[14]they] 're in pretty good condition such as [[8]this one] is , [[8]it] 's mummified remains . [[1]We] have some soft tissue [[1]we] can deal with . so [[1]we] can look at the color of the hair . [[1]we] can tell right away the race and the sex of [[15]the individual] . but then there are other things that are hidden beneath the soft tissue that are revealed only in [[16]the skeleton] . and [[16]that] 's where [[1]we] 're going to now . So in the interest of full disclosure what [[7]I] know about forensics is basically what [[7]I] 've learned on CSI . and one would think that because [[1]you] 've got [[5]it] now narrowed down to [[12]four potential airmen] that perhaps [[1]you] could go to four families get strands of hair and try to do a potential DNA match with what [[1]you] 've found in the ice . Is [[17]it] not that simple ? Well no no [[17]it] 's not that simple . Um one thing [[1]we] always caution people about is the pool of aircraft and missing airmen could be larger than what [[1]we] 're looking at . And what [[1]we] want to do is [[1]we] do n't want to just look at the material evidence that [[1]we] have and immediately um jump to a conclusion that [[15]this] is a certain individual . What [[1]we] want to do is have [[18]the evidence] speak for [[18]itself] . and when [[1]we] look at [[15]this individual] as [[1]we] 've done the biological profile looking at [[15]his] remains [[15]his] bones [[15]his] teeth and the material evidence . and what [[1]we] 're able to tell from [[15]this individual] is that [[15]he] died in [[15]his] twenties [[15]he] stood somewhere between five foot nine and six foot two inches tall um [[15]he] sustained massive trauma to [[15]his] body on impact . And [[15]he] 's Caucasoid male . and so [[1]we] know much more now just one week later than what [[1]we] did when [[15]he] came in about eight days ago . So the most important question is when do [[1]you] think [[1]you] 're going to know exactly who [[15]he] is ? Well that 's the most commonly asked question that we have . and you know the reality is nobody can give you the answer . Nobody knows for sure exactly when [[1]we] 'll [[19]identify] [[15]him] . What [[19]it] depends on is that all the lines of evidence come together for successful identification . If [[4]I] were to give [[4]my] best opinion in this it would be a few weeks to a few months . Well [[2]we] 'll be keeping [[2]our] fingers crossed for [[1]you] . Know how hard [[1]you all] are working in the lab there [[4]Dr. Mann] . Thank [[4]you] for spending some time with [[2]us] [[0]tonight] . [[2]Our] pleasure . Thank [[7]you] [[7]Paula] . thank [[7]you] .

Turning our attention now to something that has a lot of folks concerned . You 've been hearing an awful lot about avian or bird flu . The most common and deadly form has already spread in birds from [[1]South Asia] to Europe . And now there is real concern that the virus could mutate and become devastating to humans . In fact some health experts say it 's just a matter of time . [[5]Today] [[4]President Bush] unveiled [[0]a seven point one billion dollar] plan to prepare for a possible flu pandemic . Now much of [[0]that money] would go toward stockpiling enough vaccine to protect twenty million healthcare workers and other first responders speeding up production of vaccines and buying the anti-viral drugs Tamoflu and Rolenzo which in some cases prevent flu infection . And we now turn to senior medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupto who has just gotten back from [[1]South Asia] where [[2]bird flu] has in the past two years killed at least sixty - two people about half of those who were struck with it . Hundreds of millions of birds around the world have been destroyed to try to contain [[2]the disease] . And Dr. Gupto now just joins us from the Emory University hospital in Atlanta . Always good to see [[3]you] doctor . So /- Thanks . [[3]I] know [[3]you] 've had a chance to study the plan [[4]the president] put forth [[5]today] . Does it go far enough in [[3]your] estimation ? You know what 's sort of interesting [[3]Paula] . on one hand it is remarkable that [[4]the president] is devoting as much time and as much money uh all towards a disease that does n't exist yet . Pandemic flu does n't exist yet . But a lot of people are talking about it . and [[3]I] think that 's remarkable to a lot of people eh who are citizens and a lot of people in the public health community as well . On the other hand to be able to outline and do the thing that were talked about [[5]today] to basically completely revamp the public health system so that local officials can talk to state officials that can talk to federal officials to be able to pinpoint exactly when a cluster of bird flu happens that takes probably a lot more money and really a complete revamping of our public health systems . [[6]The other thing [[3]Paula]] really important is that [[6]they] talk a lot about the fact that [[7]we] 're a lot better at taking care of patients now than [[7]we] were in nineteen eighteen , we have a lot of ICUs a lot of ICUs in the hospital behind me that can take care of critically ill patients . The problem though at any given time eighty to ninety percent of those ICU rooms are full so we just do n't [[8]have] the surge capacity and [[8]that] 's going to cost lots and lots of money to create a health system where we can take care not only of the ill now but the ill that might come in with a pandemic Paula . Uh let 's talk about the other problem of the plan where the president wants to spend a billion dollars to stockpile [[9]antiviral medicine like [[11][[10]Tamaflu] and [[12]Rolenza]]] . Do we even know if [[9]these two medications] are going to be effective against a strain that has n't even presented itself ? here 's the important thing about that . We do n't know for sure . A lot of people focusing a lot of energy on [[11][[10]Tamaflu] and [[12]Rolenza]] . [[11]These] are antiviral drugs . [[11]they] are not vaccines . [[11]They] are antiviral drugs uh designed to basically shorten uh how bad [[13]the flu] might effect you uh try to lessen [[13]its] impact . But we only know that [[13]it] might work because of laboratory studies and animal studies uh uh in particular . The way to really study it would be to knowingly expose people to bird flu . and nobody will actually ever do that study for obvious reasons . So it 's just theoretical really for the most part that those will work [[14]Paula] . Dr. Sanjay Gupto thanks for the update . By the way are [[14]you] catching a cold ? A a little bit . You know [[14]I] just got back . and the ninteen hour plane ride . Not bird flu though . I can assure [[14]you] that [[14]Paula] . Chicken soup . That 's right . Just what the doctor ordered . Works all the time . Yeah right . [[14]I] made a free house call for you doctor .

Hi everyone . first up on the docket tonight [[5]we] got an interview with the witness who led investigators to [[2]a landfill] in the search for [[1]Natalee Holloway] . [[0]He] 's telling [[3]NBC] news what and who [[0]he] saw just days after [[1]Natalee 's] May thirtieth disappearance .

And while [[2]the landfill] continues to be searched and lead suspect Joran Van Der Sloot is interrogated for the fourth straight day by a team of behavioral specialists [[3]NBC 's] Michelle Kosinski remains in Aruba . So Michelle [[4]the authorities] really believe that uh [[6]this witness] with regard to [[2][[2]the landfill 's] credible] , do n't [[4]they] ? Well [[4]the authorities] including [[7]the FBI] [[5]we] found out had checked [[6]this witness] out early on just days after [[1]Natalee] disappeared . And [[5]we] just found out about [[6]this witness] a couple weeks ago . [[6]That] 's when [[0]his] existence became widely known through private investigators and other sources . And it has been reported that [[0]he] was afraid to come forward . Well it turns out [[0]he] was just afraid for [[0]his] identity to be known . but [[5]we] learned that [[0]he] came forward very quickly after [[0]he] says [[0]he] saw what happened in [[2]the landfill] that day just days after it happened . [[0]He] talked to police . [[0]He] talked to [[7]the FBI] . [[7]The FBI] actually went out to [[2]that landfill] with [[8]dogs] looked around that area even before [[7]it] became piled up with garbage . and [[8]they] did n't find anything . It 's the EquuSearch volunteers who really said hey we believe [[9]this guy] . [[9]His] story does n't change . [[9]He] seems to pan out . [[9]He] seems to be a lucid guy . [[9]He] seems to also be insistent that [[9]he] saw something . So [[9]he] says [[9]he] saw [[10]some men] drive up in a white pickup truck men that [[9]he] says [[9]he] later recognized to be the three suspects in this case . [[9]He] says [[10]they] took what looked like a body out of the back of [[11]the pickup truck] . [[11]It] was wrapped up in a bag . But when [[14]the wind] blew [[9]he] says [[9]he] saw the upper part of [[13][[12]a woman 's] body blonde hair] . and then [[9]he] says [[10]they] buried [[12]this body] there in [[2]the landfill] . Well over a period of weeks some ten feet of garbage has piled up . EquuSearch will tell you too that when [[10]they] bring out dogs it 's very difficult for a dog to catch a scent in [[2]that landfill] when [[10]they] 're coming across things like medical waste . but [[10]they] 're determined to keep going . [[9]He] saw uh [[15][[13]the woman 's] body] and inside a bag . [[13][[12]Her] hair] was blowing out with [[14]the wind] . And uh [[9]he] did n't say this now . but [[9]he] told that the back kind of came off and [[9]he] saw half of [[15][[13]the woman 's] body] . One of the most compelling reasons [[16]searchers] say [[16]they] believe [[9]this guy] very much is that [[16]they] say [[9]he] gave [[16]them] some clues as to things [[16]they] would find buried deep within that garbage around that same area where [[9]he] claims [[9]he] saw a body things like a plastic pool . [[9]He] said that there was a dirt road buried under all that garbage . Well [[17]they] found those things and a couple of other items that [[9]he] said would be there . The problem is [[17]they] just have n't found any sign at all of Natalee Holloway . but [[17]they] want to clear [[18]that place] out and just feel satisfied that [[17]they] looked as best [[17]they] could because [[18]it] 's disturbing . [[19]I] mean [[20][[9]his] story] has panned out in some ways . so [[17]they] do n't want to give this up . Well that 's the question [[19]I] have for [[19]you] [[19]Michelle] . So are [[19]you] saying that [[21]the authorities] uh looked into [[20][[9]this guy 's] story] early on and [[21]they] kind of pooh - poohed [[20]it] and then [[25]EquuSearch] came in a couple weeks later and said wait a sec , wait a sec , let 's give [[9]this guy] a shot here and [[21]they] followed up on [[20]it] ? Yeah pretty much . Uh [[22]the witness] told [[22]us] directly that in the beginning [[9]he] felt like nobody was believing [[20][[9]his] story] . But [[22]we] talked to [[23]a high level source] in law enforcement . and [[23]it] turns out [[24]they] did check [[23]it] out . Hm . [[24]They] sent the FBI out there with a dog . But [[25]EquuSearch] says hey maybe [[22]we] can do something more thoroughly here . [[22]We] can bring out [[26]teams of dogs] . But here 's [[27]the thing] . [[26]They] still have n't found one sign of her . but uh [[26]they] are determined to keep [[27]it] up through the weekend at least . Alright Michelle Kosinski as always thanks a lot .

And as Michelle reported [[0]Natalee 's mother Beth Holloway Twitty] met with the lead prosecutor in the investigation this afternoon [[1]Karin Janssen] where [[0]she] told [[1]Janssen] about a girl came forward said [[0]she] had an encounter with [[3]Joran Van Der Sloot] the chief suspect . And on our program last night [[0]Beth] told [[4]me] the story . A beautiful eighteen year old blonde - headed girl from New Jersey um you know was able to recount an encounter that [[0]she] had with [[8]Joran Van Der Sloot Deepak Kalpoe and [[9]Satish Kalpoe]] during the month of April oh five . And what did [[0]she] say happened ? you know [[2]it] 's a pretty long scenario . We have a lot of details . Um you know the main thing to to sum [[2]it] up as you know [[3]Joran] how [[3]he] entered [[5]this establishment] . [[4]I] believe that you know if you enter on the right side you have to have a valid ID . You enter [[7]Carlos N' Charlie 's] on [[6]the left side] you must have some type of [[4]I] do n't know if it 's a VIP pass or what to enter . but [[3]Joran] enters [[5]the establishment] on [[6]the left side] +approaches these group of tourist . Um you know it 's interesting how [[3]he] is able to um try to work [[3]his] way in and connect establish [[3]himself] in uh [[7]Carlos N' Charlie 's] . Was walking [[0]her] around and [[10]these other tourists] and was able to point out [[14][[8]Satish] and [[9]Deepak Kalpoe]] . [[10]They] 're sitting ironically in the same corner the same stools that [[10]they] were seated at in the picture that 's been all over international media . So that must be [[10]their] spot where [[10]they] wait while [[3]Joran] is working . And um you know it was so interesting how everyone in the casino knew [[3]Joran] . you know [[3]he] knew everyone was greeting all the guys with this grip handshake . [[11]All the girls] approach [[3]him] with a kiss on the cheek . It was interesting how um you know [[3]he] was able to order [[11]these group of girls] by just merely leaning over the bar and ordering three shots of one fifty - one one for [[3]himself] and three for the tourists with no money . So [[3]he] 's got an open uh tab at [[7][[7]Carlos N' Charlie] 's] . able to [[12]run] a tab . And you know then you notice [[12]that] in a evening 's proceeding [[3]he] 's even approaching [[11]these girls] getting close to closing time . Did . So that 's another unique pattern that [[3]he] has . did [[13]she] say uh anything about uh violence ? No [[13]she] did n't say anything about violence . but what [[13]I] was looking for was a history is a predatory type behavior which [[13]I] think [[3]Joran] and Deepak and [[14]Satish] have and how tightly connected the three are .

Stacy Brown MSNBC analyst author of Michael Jackson the Man Behind the Mask and a name who keeps popping up with [[0]all these books] . Stacy are [[1]you] writing any of [[0][[0]these books] first of all] ? No [[1]I] 'm not . Alright . But [[1]you] actually talked to [[2]these jurors] about writing a book . That 's correct . Alright . and [[1]you] were approached alright . [[1]I] was approached . And so [[2]they] are saying the things that the Daily News reports , are [[2]they] not ? Well [[2]they] are saying a lot more than just that . What else [[2]they] saying ? Um well eh let 's just clear up with [[3]the medical book] . [[4]She] did n't actually bring [[3]it] into the deliberation room . [[2]the jurors] were meeting . [[2]They] rendezvoused at a juvenile hall in Santa Maria . and [[4]she] bought [[3]it] there . and as [[2]they] were getting into the van [[2]they] ordered [[3]it] to put [[3]it] back in [[4]her] car . but [[4]she] wanted [[2]them] to understand Ellie Cook this is that this fits [[5]Michael] to a tee . So [[4]she] wanted [[2]them] to know [[5]Michael Jackson 's] guilty , [[5]he] 's a pedophile . and then what ? Then [[5]she] just caved ? [[5]She] says [[5]she] was pressured . Think [[5]she] was threated . and [[2]they] were threatening to throw [[5]her] off [[7]the jury] . Come on . this is the one who 's been wanting to write a book since the beginning , right ? Yeah absolutely . [[6][[5]Her] granddaughter] had put out feelers since [[6]she] was picked for [[7]the jury] . What [[8]other kind of shannigans] were going on back there , do [[8]they] say ? Well um [[8]they] mentioned um as [[1]you] had mentioned in [[1]your] open about [[10]the Court TV video] . [[9]Someone] had apparently taped some [[12]Court TV] um stuff . and [[9]they] tried to play [[10]it] . Uh apparently [[10]it] was a malfunction in [[10]the video tape] . Mhm . Well let [[1]me] give the juror 's explanation for this . And . This is Paula Coccoz . [[11]we] talked to [[5]her] today juror number ten . It 's number four . Uh [[14]the bailiff] brought in a TV with [[13]a VCR] so [[11]we] could review [[16]the sheriff 's] interview . and [[11]we] went to put in [[10]the tape] . [[10]The tape] was marked [[12]Court TV] . The people at the courthouse had left [[10]this tape] in [[13]the VCR] . [[11]We] told [[14]the bailiff] about this . and [[14]he] seemed concerned about whether or not [[11]we] reviewed [[10]the tape] . [[11]We] told [[10]them] [[11]we] did n't watch [[10]it] . [[11]We] did n't find out until later what was on [[10]the tape] . Yeah . according to Ellie though someone taped [[15]that show] . [[15]It] was n't left there . Um and there was a problem . Now [[1]I] know that someone else mentioned that there was a problem as well with [[13]a VCR] . but if you remember well the interview with [[16]the sheriff] and [[19]the young boy] was on a disk and not a VCR . And [[17]this] is number five . Uh [[17]this] is again the Daily News . [[18]That Cook] uh admits that [[18]she] frequently winked at [[22][[20]Jackson 's] mother um Katherine in court] and exchanged wardrobe tips with [[19]the entertainer 's] mom which resulted in [[20]them] wearing the same colors on certain days . Ellie Cook talked about that yeah . [[18]She] mentioned that [[21]they] would wink and nod at each other . [[1]I] do n't understand . So on the one hand this juror 's saying [[1]I] was convinced [[14]he] was guilty you know . and [[21]they] 're saying oh [[18]she] was trying to bring in a medical text . and on the other hand [[18]she] 's sitting there winking at [[22]Katherine Jackson] talking to [[18]her] about what clothes [[21]they] 're going to wear . Saying everything was going to be okay . [[18]She] /- And that 's why [[1]you] did n't believe this story . That 's why [[1]I] do n't yeah ah . That 's why [[1]you] would n't write [[23]the book] . [[1]I] 'm not writing [[23]it] because [[1]I] just think that there 's a lot of issues with [[26]this] . if [[1]you] felt that [[19]this guy] was guilty , [[1]you] felt [[19]he] was a pedophile , [[19]he] lives in [[24][[1]your] community] , [[19]he] 's a very powerful member of [[24][[1]your] community] why let [[19]him] free then ? Do [[1]you] just not believe [[25]these jurors] ? Is that the problem ? [[1]I] just do n't believe [[25]them] . Why ? [[1]I] mean [[25]they] 're making [[26]this] up for money ? It 's just /- well uh you know [[1]I] think in both [[25]their] cases [[25]they] feel now in retrospect maybe we made a mistake . And see [[1]I] can live with [[27]that] if [[27]that] 's what [[25]they] are saying . but [[25]they] 're not saying [[27]that] . [[25]They] 're saying that [[25]they] believed all along [[19]he] was guilty . and [[1]I] 'm having a hard time with [[27]that] . Alright Stacy uh stick around for a minute .

[[0]Stacy Brown MSNBC analyst author of Michael Jackson the Man Behind the Mask and a name who keeps popping up with [[1]all these books] .] [[0]Stacy] are [[0]you] writing any of [[1]these books] first of all ? No [[0]I] 'm not . Alright . But [[0]you] actually [[2]talked] to [[3]these jurors] about writing a book . [[2]That] 's correct . Alright . and [[0]you] were approached alright . [[0]I] was approached . And so [[3]they] are saying [[4]the things that [[5]the Daily News] reports] , are [[3]they] not ? Well [[3]they] are saying a lot more than [[4]just that] . What else [[3]they] saying ? Um well eh let 's just clear up with [[6]the medical book] . [[7]She] did n't actually bring [[6]it] into the deliberation room . [[8]the jurors] were meeting . [[8]They] rendezvoused at a juvenile hall in Santa Maria . and [[7]she] bought [[6]it] there . and as [[8]they] were getting into the van they ordered it to put [[6]it] back in [[7]her] car . but [[7]she] wanted [[9]them] to understand [[7]Ellie Cook] this is that this fits [[10]Michael] to a tee . So [[7]she] wanted [[9]them] to know [[10]Michael Jackson] 's guilty , [[10]he] 's a pedophile . and then what ? Then [[7]she] just caved ? [[7]She] says [[7]she] was pressured . Think [[7]she] was threated . and [[9]they] were threatening to throw [[7]her] off [[11]the jury] . Come on . [[7]this] is the one who 's been wanting to write a book since the beginning , right ? Yeah absolutely . [[7]Her] granddaughter had put out feelers since [[7]she] was picked for [[11]the jury] . What other kind of shannigans were going on back there , do [[3]they] say ? Well um [[3]they] mentioned um as [[13]you] had mentioned in [[13]your] open about [[12]the [[14]Court TV] video] . Someone had apparently taped [[15]some [[14]Court TV] um stuff] . and [[16]they] tried to play [[12]it] . Uh apparently it was a malfunction in [[12]the video tape] . Mhm . Well let [[13]me] give [[17]the juror 's] explanation for this . And . This is [[17]Paula Coccoz] . we talked to [[17]her] today [[17]juror number ten] . It 's number four . Uh [[19]the bailiff] brought in a TV with [[18]a VCR] so [[16]we] could review [[21][[20]the sheriff 's] interview] . and [[16]we] went to put in [[12]the tape] . [[12]The tape] was marked [[14]Court TV] . The people at the courthouse had left [[12]this tape] in [[18]the VCR] . [[16]We] told [[19]the bailiff] about this . and [[19]he] seemed concerned about whether or not [[16]we] reviewed [[12]the tape] . [[16]We] told them [[16]we] did n't watch [[12]it] . [[16]We] did n't find out until later what was on [[12]the tape] . Yeah . according to [[7]Ellie] though someone taped [[15]that show] . [[12]It] was n't left there . Um and there was a problem . Now [[0]I] know that someone else mentioned that there was a problem as well with a VCR . but if [[13]you] remember well [[21]the interview with [[20]the sheriff] and the young boy] was on a disk and not a VCR . And this is number five . Uh this is again [[5]the Daily News] . [[7]That Cook] uh admits that [[7]she] frequently winked at [[23][[10]Jackson 's] mother um Katherine] in court and exchanged wardrobe tips with [[23][[10]the entertainer 's] mom] which resulted in [[22]them] wearing the same colors on certain days . [[7]Ellie Cook] talked about that yeah . [[7]She] mentioned that [[22]they] would wink and nod at each other . [[13]I] do n't understand . So on the one hand [[7]this juror] 's saying [[7]I] was convinced [[10]he] was guilty you know . and they 're saying oh [[7]she] was trying to bring in [[6]a medical text] . and on the other hand [[7]she] 's sitting there winking at [[23]Katherine Jackson] talking to [[23]her] about what clothes [[22]they] 're going to wear . Saying everything was going to be okay . [[7]She] /- And [[24]that] 's why [[0]you] did n't believe this story . [[24]That] 's why [[0]I] do n't yeah ah . [[24]That] 's why [[0]you] would n't write [[25]the book] . [[0]I] 'm not writing [[25]it] because [[0]I] just think that there 's a lot of issues with this . if you felt that [[10]this guy] was guilty , you felt [[10]he] was a pedophile , [[10]he] lives in your community , [[10]he] 's a very powerful member of your community why let [[10]him] free then ? Do [[0]you] just not [[26]believe] [[3]these jurors] ? Is [[26]that] the problem ? [[0]I] just do n't believe [[3]them] . Why ? [[13]I] mean [[3]they] 're making this up for money ? It 's just /- well uh you know [[0]I] think in both [[3]their] cases [[3]they] [[27]feel] now in retrospect maybe [[3]we] made a mistake . And see [[0]I] can live with [[27]that] if [[27]that] 's what [[3]they] are saying . but [[3]they] 're not saying [[27]that] . [[3]They] 're saying that [[3]they] [[28]believed] all along [[10]he] was guilty . and [[0]I] 'm having a hard time with [[28]that] . Alright [[0]Stacy] uh stick around for a minute .

Joining [[4]me] now NBC News legal analyst former prosecutor Susan Filan and attorney and Celebrity Justice executive producer Harvey Levin criminal defense attorney Daniel Horowitz . [[0]Harv] what do [[0]you] make of /- Look [[0]you] 've followed this close . What do [[0]you] make of all this ? Well [[0]I] think Eleanor Cook is a wacko Dan . and [[0]I] think if any of [[1]these allegations] are true [[7]these jurors] need to be prosecuted . [[0]I] mean this is jury tampering from within the jury if [[1]these allegations] are true . And if there is ever to be a fair celebrity trial again especially in California somebody needs to say look we are drawing the line . [[0]You] 're not going to get books at the end of the rainbow and do things inappropriate . If it pans out it 's true [[0]I] think [[2]Tom Sneddon [[2]himself]] should [[3]prosecute] without respect to whether [[3]it] would have been pro or anti Michael Jackson . So Susan let 's assume for a minute it 's true . Again [[4]you] 're the prosecutor . and [[4]you] 're sitting there going are [[4]you] kidding [[4]me] ? There were [[5]two or three jurors who wanted to convict] . and [[5]they] caved because [[5]they] were pressured or whatever . You ca n't do anything , can [[4]you] ? Nothing . eh game over . You ca n't take an appeal from an aquittal . The problem that [[4]I] have with [[6]this] is as members of the media we had an awfully difficult time with access to this trial . If [[6]this] is going to set a precedent to shut media out because these highly publicized celebrity trials yield [[7]these faulty verdicts] [[8]she] 's doing far far more harm than [[8]she] could ever understand . Yeah but let 's forget about the media stuff . [[0]I] mean the bottom line is [[10]the prosecutors] ca n't do anything about [[11]this] , right ? [[0]I] mean if [[9]the jurors] were tampering with evidence , if [[9]they] were playing with evidence et cetera back there [[10]the prosecutors] have to just suck [[11]it] up and be depressed . There 's no remedy . [[10]They] have to eat [[11]it] . [[11]It] 's over . Daniel [[0]I] mean Stacy does n't really believe [[9]them] . but what do [[0]you] think ?

You know [[0]Dan] [[0]I] do n't even talk to juries afterwards unless [[0]I] win because [[0]you] 're always going to hear things like that . People in a jury room are in a bar room brawl .

Exactly a month after [[5]twenty - six year old George Smith] [[2]vanished] from [[0]a Royal Caribbean ship] cruising in the Mediterranean NBC News has learned federal investigators are now focusing on three men who were traveling on [[0]the cruise ship] called Brilliance of the Seas two Russian brothers who live in Brooklyn and one man who lives in [[1]California] . The attorney for [[9]the [[1]California] man] issued [[2]this statement] . [[3]We] 've been cooperating with the FBI and the US Attorney 's Office in [[4]their investigation] . and [[3]we] 'll continue to do so . However [[3]we] 've been asked by the authorities not to speak with the media while [[4]the investigation] is pending . and [[3]we] intend to honor that request . This photo taken the day shows what appears to be blood on the awning below the cabin where [[5]Smith] and [[8][[5]his] wife] were staying . [[5]Smith] was traveling on [[5]his] honeymoon and had left Barcelona Spain on June twenty - ninth . what was meant to be a twelve day cruise . Halfway through the trip on the morning of July fifth [[5]he] disappeared . [[5]He] was reported missing later that day when [[0]the ship] docked in Kusadasi Turkey . [[7]NBC] has also learned that [[5]Smith 's] new wife Jennifer Hagel has been questioned is not a suspect . Two were married on June twenty - fifth in Newport Rhode Island . Joining me now former Connecticut prosecutor NBC News uh legal analyst Susan Filan who 's been covering the case closely and [[12]Orlando] police chief Walter uh Zalisko who was on the same cruise that [[5]Smith] travelled on as well as forensic expert Larry Kobilinsky . Alright so [[6]Susan] what do [[6]you] know about [[4]the investigation] ? Well [[7]NBC news] has learned from a law enforcement source that [[8]the wife] is not a suspect and that they are focusing in on these two Russian brothers as you said who live in Brooklyn . [[9]The California teen] is apparently the key to the case at this point . That 's law enforcement 's focus . If [[9]this young man] will talk this could break open what happened to George . The key question is is this a tragic accident or is [[10]this foul play] ? Right now law enforcement seems to think [[10]it] 's foul play . US attorney Kevin O'Connor said we have reason to believe there could have been foul play here . Um alright uh [[11]Mister Zalisko] do [[11]you] know anything from [[11]your] personal experience of having been on [[13]the cruise] as to what happened ? Uh good evening [[11]sir] . Uh first [[11]I] 'd just like to clarify [[11]I] 'm a police chief in Oak Hill Florida not [[12]Orlando] . Uh now as far as [[13]the cruise] uh [[11]I] was on [[15][[13]the cruise] that uh uh day] . and the way [[11]I] became aware of what occured was that uh the morning of the fifth a relative of [[11]mine] had mentioned that there was blood stain on the canopy beneath her uh balcony . at that point [[14]we] kind of dismissed it . [[14]We] did n't know what was uh going on . Uh [[14]we] then went on [[14]our] daily excursion . However later on into [[13]the cruise] [[15]that day] uh [[13]the ship 's] captain went onto the PA system and made an announcement that uh [[16]authorities] were on [[13]the ship] and [[16]they] were investigating the possibility that an individual had gone overboard during the night or early morning hours . When [[11]I] asked [[17][[11]my] cousin] the uh size of the blood splatter [[17]she] had indicated it was relatively the size of a small uh dog of a beagle type . However viewing those photographs on TV that blood splatter is much larger than uh a small dog . Mhm . In fact it 's maybe three to four feet in length . And then we 've been hearing many stories that uh there were a lot of people going into and out of the state rooms uh which would indicate that the crime scene was not properly secured in the early stages of the investigation . Well .

[[7]We] 've been cooperating with [[9]the FBI and the US Attorney 's Office] in [[9][[8]their] investigation] . and [[7]we] 'll continue to do so . However [[7]we] 've been [[10]asked] by the authorities not to speak with the media while [[8]the investigation] is pending . and [[7]we] intend to honor [[10]that request] . This photo taken the day shows what appears to be blood on [[11]the awning below the cabin where [[12][[0]Smith] and [[13][[0]his] wife]] were staying] . [[0]Smith] was traveling on [[0]his] honeymoon and had left Barcelona Spain on June twenty - ninth . what was meant to be [[14]a twelve day cruise] . Halfway through [[14]the trip] on [[15]the morning of [[16]July fifth]] [[0]he] disappeared . [[0]He] was reported missing later that day when [[2]the ship] docked in Kusadasi Turkey . NBC has also learned that [[13][[0]Smith 's] new wife Jennifer Hagel] has been questioned is not a suspect . [[12]Two] were married on June twenty - fifth in Newport Rhode Island . Joining [[20]me] now [[17]former Connecticut prosecutor [[3]NBC News] uh legal analyst Susan Filan who 's been covering [[18]the case] closely] and [[21][[19]Orlando] police chief Walter uh Zalisko who was on [[14]the same cruise that [[0]Smith] travelled on]] as well as forensic expert Larry Kobilinsky . Alright so [[17]Susan] what do [[17]you] know about [[8]the investigation] ? Well [[3]NBC news] has learned from a law enforcement source that [[13]the wife] is not a suspect and that they are focusing in on [[6]these two Russian brothers as [[20]you] said who live in [[5]Brooklyn]] . [[1]The [[4]California] teen] is apparently the key to [[18]the case] at this point . That 's law enforcement 's focus . If [[1]this young man] will talk this could break open what happened to [[0]George] . The key question is is [[22]this] a tragic accident or is [[22]this] foul play ? Right now law enforcement seems to think [[22]it] 's foul play . US attorney Kevin O'Connor said we have reason to believe there could have been foul play here . Um alright uh [[19]Mister Zalisko] do [[19]you] know anything from [[19]your] personal experience of having been on [[14]the cruise] as to what happened ? Uh good evening [[20]sir] . Uh first [[19]I] 'd just like to clarify [[19]I] 'm a police chief in Oak Hill Florida not [[21]Orlando] . Uh now as far as [[14]the cruise] uh [[19]I] was on [[14]the cruise] [[16]that uh uh day] . and the way [[19]I] became aware of what occured was that uh [[15]the morning of [[16]the fifth]] [[23]a relative of [[19]mine]] had mentioned that there was [[24]blood stain on [[11]the canopy beneath [[23]her] uh balcony]] . at that point [[25]we] kind of dismissed [[24]it] . [[25]We] did n't know what was uh going on . Uh [[25]we] then went on [[25]our] daily excursion . However later on into [[14]the cruise] [[16]that day] uh [[2]the ship 's] captain went onto the PA system and made an announcement that uh authorities were on the ship and they were investigating the possibility that an individual had gone overboard during the night or early morning hours . When [[19]I] asked [[23][[19]my] cousin] the uh size of [[24]the blood splatter] [[23]she] had indicated [[24]it] was relatively the size of a small uh dog of a beagle type . However viewing those photographs on TV [[24]that blood splatter] is much larger than uh a small dog . Mhm . In fact [[24]it] 's maybe three to four feet in length . And then we 've been hearing many stories that uh there were a lot of people going into and out of the state rooms uh which would indicate that the crime scene was not properly secured in the early stages of [[8]the investigation] . Well .

Alright let [[3]me] play this piece of sound from [[0]one of the passengers who was uh staying right nearby] uh this particular uh room . We were awakened uh about four in the morning uh by loud yelling coming from the cabin . Um it sounded like people uh cheering uh like a drinking contest type thing . And [[0]he] says uh later um chief that [[0]he] heard a horrific thud . Well yeah that would indicate that something did go on there . and we know uh that the three individuals were in a room uh with [[0]Mister Smith] . And the question that has to be uh presented to everybody is why is it taking so long for authorities to interview [[2]the individual that was in a cabin next door] ? Mhm . Any seasoned investigator would know that [[1]you] would want to conduct [[1]your] interviews uh of possible witnesses immediately after [[5]the crime] . Yeah . Yeah . And [[1]you] would not just interview [[2]that individual next door] . [[1]You] would have to take a step to interview people above below and to both sides . Susan what 's the answer to that ? But [[3]Dan] . there are jurisdictional problems here . You know it 's not a clear cut case as to who gets to prosecute [[6]this case] . Turkey ca n't do anything without a body . United States can . Fair play of the United States for stepping in . fair play to law enforcement for getting involved . [[4]Jurisdiction] is n't clear . but [[4]they] 're working very hard to solve [[5]the crime] . [[3]I] do n't think the criticism is well placed against law enforcement in [[6]this case] . Also [[5]the crime scene] oh if you want to call [[5]it] that was cleaned up by the cruise ship who got [[7]their] investigators and [[7]their] lawyers in from what [[3]I] understand right away to make this go away . so [[3]I] think law enforcement was put in a bad position trying to play catchup . and [[3]I] think they 're doing +an amazing job . Larry so uh any chance now based on the fact that things have been cleaned up et cetera to get any usable evidence ? Well it 's very difficult [[3]Dan] . Uh obviously as [[8]we] keep saying [[8]we] do not have a body . therefore [[8]we] do not have a cause or a manner of the death . But [[8]we] do have some physical evidence . Unfortunately examination of the photograph uh tells [[10]me] [[9]it] was not done the proper way . [[9]It] was n't a forensic photograph . So [[10]I] really do not know how large [[11]the stain] was in [[11]its] dimensions . but it is pretty clear that there 's a lot of blood there great deal of blood . It makes [[3]you] think that something criminal occured . But again getting back to how you solve the crime you got to go to [[5]the crime scene] . and [[10]I] think there are multiple scenes here . Every place there 's blood it 's a crime scene . But the most important place is the cabin because that 's presumably where the injury took place . Now there was some rumor about some arguments going [[14]casino] the night before . Uh and it could very well be that he was [[12]arguing] with [[13]these individuals] . so uh [[12]that] could be the tie the connection . and [[10]I] think good policework would connect [[13]the individuals] in question with [[14]the casino] with [[17]Mister Smith] . and that might help us understand what happened . [[15]this] is um a little bit more sound . [[15]This] is again from Cletus Hyman uh who was literally um in a joining or nearby cabin um as to what [[16]he] heard around [[16]he] said four in the morning the day before uh [[17]Mister Smith] went missing . At times it sounded like furniture was being actually picked up and dropped . and then that horrific uh thud . Yeah [[10]I] mean that sure sounds to [[10]me] chief like we 're not talking about someone who /- [[10]I] mean [[10]I] guess it 's possible if [[10]you] 're talking about loud yelling coming /- Well look if this guy 's right that loud yelling is coming from the cabin right and [[18]the wife] is not a real suspect here means that there was probably someone else in there . Well there absolutely was someone else in that room . And what 's interesting is there was a witness who uh had informed [[19]ship 's] authorities that [[18]she] had heard a scream uh early that morning . And what 's really interesting is uh we do n't know if [[18]she] 's been interviewed at this point . But it was five days later that [[19]the ship 's] attorneys had begun to question [[18]her] not law enforcement but ship 's attorneys . We will uh continue to follow this . Chief Zalisko of the Oakhill Police Department sorry about that Susan Filan Larry Kobilinsky thanks a lot .

[[0]Alright Erin] let [[7]me] start with [[0]you] . What do [[0]you] think [[1]the biggest problem] is out there when it comes to [[3]these sex offenders] ?

[[3][[2]The sex offenders] that we have caught] are a very small percentage of those that are out there .

And [[0]Linda] [[0]I] guess what [[4]we] 're realizing as [[4]we] have been highlighting [[3]these wanted sex offenders] around [[8]the country] is how many of [[3]them] are still out there and wanted . Well currently there 's um right now uh over a hundred thousand that are missing . Unbelievable . Uh [[4]we] know that there 's [[5]over five hundred thousand registered] .

" Your father , Ye Zhengming , was Marshall Ye Ting 's second child . Right . Oh ! But today we 're telling [[8]Ye Daying 's] story . Let 's start with when [[1]you] were young . When [[1]you] were young [[1]you] were very naughty . [[8]Ye Daying] was born in Changchun in 1958 . Although by that time [[10][[8]his] grandfather Ye Ting] had been dead for 12 years , [[9]the Ye family] maintained [[9]its] status as a highly esteemed Communist household . The next year [[9]the entire family] transferred to Beijing , and [[8]Ye Daying] spent [[10]his] childhood there . [[10]He] and [[10]his] little friends went fishing , raised dogs , hunted sparrows , chased ducks , and many years later these supremely happy memories are all preserved in [[10]his] movies and plays . One , two , three , four . Ducks were the most precious asset in our village . [[11]The village mayor] gave [[13]them all] to [[12]me] . [[11]The mayor] said to [[12]me] , there are eighty - six in all ; [[11]he] had [[12]me] check to see that there were none missing . But [[12]I] never did count [[13]them all] carefully . 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 Did [[12]you] see ? Are there 86 of [[13]them] ? Yes . [[8]Ye Daying 's] mother , An Qi , was an educated woman who worked at the Changchun Film Studio . And [[14]his father , Ye Zhengming] , was an outstanding son of the revolution . Because after the Wannan Incident Ye Zhengming and [[14][[10]his] father Ye Ting] were imprisoned for two years in a Kuomnintang prison . But then , and for the same reasons , just after the Cultural Revolution started , [[14]Ye Zhengming] was treated as a major capitalist roader . [[15]That year [[16]Ye Daying]] was just eight years old . [[14][[9]His] family 's] sudden misfortune left [[15]the young Ye Daying] with very disturbing memories . [[14]He] changed from a very well - behaved child into a naughty child . From that time on [[14]he] often did things that went beyond the norm , sometimes to protect [[14]himself] and sometimes to take care of [[14][[9]his] family] . [[16]Ye Daying] just corrected us ; [[16]he] said that [[10]Ye Ting] should not be called [[10]Marshal Ye Ting] but rather [[17]General Ye Ting] . Right , right , right , [[17]General Ye Ting] . Why , is there a big difference between marshal and general ? Um , [[14]he] died in '46 . That marshal , afterward , after Liberation , um , it was conferred on [[14]him] , so only then -- OK , we 'll call [[14]him] [[17]General Ye Ting] . Mm .

In 1976 , there were two happy events in [[0]the Ye family] . The first was that [[2][[1]his] father , Ye Zhengming] , was released and reunited with [[1][[0]his] family that [[1]he] had been separated from for three years] . The second event was that [[2]Ye Daying] had [[2]his] 18th birthday and became an adult . With the turn for the better in [[2][[1]his] father 's] political circumstances , [[2]Ye Daying] left behind [[2]his] violent life and changed suddenly , becoming more inward - looking .

Right , but the problem was , , Because , [[2]I] had never done well in school .

The remains of [[0]four sailors killed in [[1]the `` USS Cole '' bombing]] returned to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware [[2]today] .

[[8]This house] on Al Zaharah Street half a mile from [[4]the port] is where investigators believe [[1]the bomb] was built into the boat that carried [[1]it] .

The remains of [[0]four sailors killed in [[2]the `` USS Cole '' bombing]] returned to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware [[1]today] . [[0]They] were the last of the dead to be flown home , but in Yemen , the search for those responsible for [[2]the bombing] continues . Investigators turned up new evidence and more leads [[1]today] . [[4][[3]ABC 's] John Miller] reports . [[7]Investigators] have searched at least half a dozen homes around [[9]the port of [[8]Aden]] including [[5]this one] , trying to retrace the movements of what [[7]they] believe may be [[6]six or more suspects] . [[5]This house on Al Zaharah Street half a mile from [[9]the port]] is where investigators believe [[10]the bomb] was built into [[11]the boat that carried [[10]it]] . Just after [[6]the men] moved in , [[13]neighbors] say [[6]they] erected [[12]a metal corrugated wall] to block [[13]the neighbors '] view of the yard .

Good evening . That call to order you just heard reverberates through [[0]the Supreme Court] every day that [[4]the justices convene] , but [[2]today] was no everyday session .

[[5]God] save [[10]the United States] and [[0]this honorable court] . First up , [[5]Ted Olson lawyer for [[5]George W. Bush]] , laying out the campaign 's main claim . [[5]Olson] made it through only 56 seconds of [[11][[5]his] arguments] before a justice broke in . Well , Mr. Olson -- Sandra Day O'Connor , often the swing vote on [[0]this court] , demanded to know why [[0]the court] even had a role in this case . [[5]Olson] argued that [[12]a century - old federal statute] prevents laws governing an election from being created after the fact which , [[5]he] claimed , is just what [[0]the [[3]Florida] court] did , and also , that [[17]the U.S. Constitution] gives state legislatures , not the courts , the right to choose electors . Of all the justices [[12]it] was Ruth Bader Ginsburg who seemed most sympathetic to [[0]the Florida Supreme Court] . Midway through [[13]the hearing] , [[14]Chief Justice Rehnquist] seemed to scold [[14]his] colleagues for being too talkative when [[14]he] made an unusual offer to the lawyer representing [[3]Florida 's] Attorney General . And so it went on . [[15]Laurence Tribe , [[8]Gore 's] attorney ,] said [[0]the state court] did nothing illegal . It simply provided a way for [[20]a close election] to be examined .

[[16]Justice Antonin Scalia] also pressed [[15]Tribe] . [[16]He] said [[0]the state court] relied on [[17]the [[3]Florida] Constitution] to draft [[17]its] decision , excluding state lawmakers and that violated [[17]the U.S. Constitution] . It was Justice Breyer who asked the most straightforward question of all . What happens if [[0]the court] rules in favor of [[18]Bush] ? The answer from the Secretary of State 's lawyer was , [[18]Bush] wins and all the litigation in [[3]Florida] ends . Not [[19]everyone] agrees .

[[4]Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov] congratulated [[3]Kostunica] on [[3]his] election victory . [[4]He] also gave [[3]him] a letter from [[5]Russian President Vladimir Putin] .

[[2]Russia] was the last European power to withhold support for [[3]the opposition] . The man who lost power in [[6]Yugoslavia] finally surfaced [[7]today] . [[8]Slobodan Milosevic] met with [[4]Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov] . [[4]Ivanov] says [[8]Milosevic] told [[8]him] [[8]he] plans to remain in Serbia and continue to run [[6]its] largest political party . [[8]Indeed Milosevic] still considers [[8]himself] to be President , according to [[8]his] brother Borislav . In an interview with [[0]CNN] , [[8]Borislav Milosevic] accused Western nations of supporting the demonstrations and said [[8]his] brother has no plans to leave [[6]the city] .

[[13]He] was not among the prominent opposition figures who have struggled against each other almost as hard as [[17]the regime] . [[13]He] is an orthodox Serb nationalist , but [[13]he] supports truer democracy for [[13][[6]his] country] and better relations with [[6]its] neighbors and [[18]the West] . [[3]Kostunica] is a soft - spoken and uncharismatic figure who spent years building the Democratic Party of Serbia and gathering only modest support . After ten years , people know what are the differences between [[14]Milosevic 's] policies and ours , what [[14]Milosevic] was saying and promising and what the opposition parties and [[15]I] [[15]myself] was saying in these years and how [[15]I] was behaving . [[3]Kostunica] is 56 , an expert on constitutional law who lives with [[3]his] wife and pets in a [[11]Belgrade] apartment . [[3]He] was fired from [[3]his] job teaching law in 1974 for [[16][[3]his] opposition] to the policies of [[6]the Tito government] . [[3]He] refused an offer to return in 1989 because of [[16][[3]his] opposition] to [[17]the [[14]Milosevic] regime] , and [[3]he] rejects much from [[18]the West] as well -- the Dayton peace accord , Western sanctions on [[6]Yugoslavia] , and the war crimes tribunal .
